Crowned with Pearls

Chapter 1360: Trying every means

People from the nine great families came in a hurry. Some were still dealing with shipping matters outside, and some were still in the concubine's room. But when Xiao Yuan said something big, no one dared to delay. They were in a hurry. Everyone came in a hurry.

Xiao Yuan glanced around and didn't see anyone from the Qiu family, so he raised his eyebrows: "Where are the people from the Qiu family?"

Even if Mr. Qiu is too ill to get up, the Qiu family should still send a representative.

Mr. Wei stood up wiping cold sweat and apologized: "Your Highness, something happened to the Qiu family. It's really hard not to have a man in the family who can make decisions, so Uncle Qiu stayed to take care of his father. If anything happens, you can tell me here. When the time comes, We conveyed it to them the same way.”

Mr. Qiu had indeed fallen down not long ago, so Xiao Yuan naturally knew this.

He frowned, but after all, he still didn't care about it. He just coughed deeply and asked everyone: "You all know what just happened, right?"

On the way here, everyone asked what happened. Xiao Yuan did not let the people below hide it, so of course what he knew now was pretty much what he knew. Now when Xiao Yuan asked, everyone wanted to pretend to be stupid. They didn't dare, so they could only nod cautiously.

Mr. Wei was particularly scared*/9+8. He was really scared to death.

Mr. Qiu failed to do this, and even got his own confidants involved. Zhejiang followed suit and slapped a big hat on him. Who can escape and be liquidated? Sooner or later, this matter in Fujian will be exposed.

When the imperial court really becomes ruthless and wants to beat them, they will not have someone to rely on like Xiao Yuan, not to mention that Xiao Yuan will definitely push them out without hesitation.

Xiao Yuan leaned back in the armchair and seemed not to notice the panic among the people below. He raised his eyebrows and let out a faint laugh: "Tell me, do you have any ideas to deal with it? Now everyone is tied to the same boat, but we are still separated from each other. Hidden and tucked away.”

Who wants to hide what he said?

Mr. Wei Sanye hesitated and did not speak.

 The current leaders of several other aristocratic families also frowned and hesitated to speak.

Xiao Yuan glanced at them lightly, and said with a half-smile: "It seems that everyone has nothing to say and wants to say? If this is the case, then... let's just leave like this?"

 Dispersed? !

This time everyone suddenly became excited. To put it more seriously, what Mr. Qiu did was going to cost his life. It didn’t matter whether he died or not, but could everyone die with him? !

We haven't reached a conclusion yet, so we're calling it quits? How to break up?

At this time, it was the Tang family who stood up first: "Your Highness, isn't this bad?! The matter is of great importance. If the court is to blame, there must be an explanation. With so many of us, the total number of lives can be thousands or tens of thousands. Is it possible?" Are you so disappointed if you don’t succeed!?”

Even though everyone has a lot of taboos against Xiao Yuan and the Chi family, at this time, they can't help but start to complain in their hearts.

We all were from aristocratic families back then, and the Chi family gave birth to Queen Chi who was liquidated. However, several major aristocratic families worked together to save her. It’s good now. We all did everything we could and should do for your Chi family and Xiao Yuan. You just turn around and just put your hands down and don't care. How can such a thing happen in the world?

 Sure enough, you won’t know the pain unless the knife pierces your body.

Xiao Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, and threw the folding fan in his hand on the table with a crisp sound.

Everyone was shaken by the sound, and the head of the Tang family realized belatedly that the man in front of him was not easy to talk to.

He hurriedly shook his head with a smile: "Your Highness, I don't mean what I say, but I have no disrespect to you. You have a lot, so don't care about me."

Xiao Yuan's face darkened, he leaned back on the chair and shouted casually: "Whether there is any disrespect or not, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the court is blaming the people, and no one in the crowd in front of them can escape. After making a handful of loess, what else is there to care about?"

Everyone's face was a little pale. You looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked ugly and didn't know how to reply. Third Master Wei finally got closer to Mr. Qiu, who had been helping Xiao Yuan with things, so he became a peacemaker and stood up and begged Xiao Yuan: "Your Highness, all of us below will listen to you. , now that things have reached this point, seeing that everyone is in the same boat, I ask Your Highness to give us people an idea. If anyone doesn't listen, he is seeking death and finding his own way! We will never protect you. Such a person who is not clear-headed!"

Mr. Wei Sanye is very clear-headed.

We are already in such a deep trap, whether it is the smuggling, the previous sinking into the sea, or the bribery of Xu Cifu, each of them is fatal, and there is no way to get out of this situation.

The only way to follow Xiao Yuan until dark is better than waiting for the court to come and destroy the clan.

With Mr. Wei taking the lead, everyone else followed suit and flattered Xiao Yuan.

The Chi family holds the key to going to sea, and the account books are also in Xiao Yuan's hands. If you offend this master, you don't have to wait for the court to come and you will be killed by him.

There are so many of us, and no one in the family has any children at sea. Their life and death depend on Xiao Yuan's thoughts.

Seeing that everyone had lowered their heads and surrendered, Mr. Wei stepped forward again and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, for the sake of everyone's unity, please think of something for everyone."

Xiao Yuan leaned back in his chair and sneered lazily for a while before saying: "In that case, I must think of a way to divert the trouble to the east."

Diverting disaster to the east?

Mr. Wei's eyes lit up, and he asked with a smile: "Your Highness, please just say it. We will listen to you in everything, just say it."

Xiao Yuan's expression was calm, but his tone softened in the end. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Wei to go to Zhangzhou."

 Zhangzhou, Mr. Wei has been there several times recently.

So Mr. Wei understood what Xiao Yuan meant as soon as he heard it. Who is there in Zhangzhou? Naturally, it’s Min Wangle.

 Who is around King Min?

 Hong Changshi!

He immediately stood up: "Yes, please give me your Majesty's orders. This villain will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Xiao Yuan smiled and glanced at everyone: "In this case, everyone must work together and use their strength in one place to help us in the same boat."

After going around this circle, King Min finally relaxed. No one dared to say anything more. They all hurriedly cooperated with Mr. Wei and kept apologizing to Xiao Yuan.
